The OnePlus Pad 3, attached to its Smart Keyboard, rests on a blue couch.

When OnePlus first introduced its tablet to the world, it impressed with high-end specs at an affordable price. Now, with the OnePlus Pad 3, the company is refining that formula. This latest model brings modest hardware upgrades - including a larger, sharper display, a bigger battery, and an updated smart keyboard - along with meaningful software improvements that help it inch closer to rivals like Samsung and Apple.

OnePlus undoubtedly hoped the release of its newest smartwatch had gone smoother. After delaying the launch, the company released the watch right at the peak of tariff drama. The watch debuted at a higher $500 price in the US, but OnePlus now says that after some adjustments, it is able to bring the price down by $150, and it's staying there.

OnePlus, which is part of the Chinese megacorp Oppo, announced the OnePlus Watch 3 in early 2025. The first batch of units to roll off the line went out to reviewers, who promptly noticed that the underside featured a prominent typo, reading "Meda in China" instead of "Made in China." OnePlus delayed the release to fix the issue.
